Back to School GCSE Suggested Reading List

Now the summer holidays are over, Year 10 students will no doubt have been thinking about just how much reading material they will need to get through over the next year or so in readiness for sitting their GCSE English Literature Exams. If you’re a parent, you might not have had a chance to look through the list or perhaps you had to study the same material when you were at school. Whichever it is, many of the books on this list are must reads for any book fan. Despite the list udating over the years, we think you’d enjoy studying far more if some of our favourites were included. So, just for fun, we’ve compiled our own suggested reading list which we’ve tagged on to the bottom.

Prose

Contemporary – post 1900

Animal Farm – George Orwell
Lord of the Flies – William Golding
Of Mice and Men – John Steinbeck
The Hound of the Baskervilles – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
